Juice is set thirty years after devastating environmental breakdown, and the world is thrown back to an age when juice (electricity) is rarely available. Our young hero Will, seventeen, and his girlfriend Leonie (an acrobat in a travelling circus) have to travel for hundreds of miles overland in search of Will's father, using the survival skills Will learnt as a child. Realising that the adults who lived through the devastation cannot do so, it is their task to create a viable and sustainable future.
